Support for Multiple Character Encodings

WebDAV

Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 supports setting and retrieving multibyte
properties in the PROPPPATCH and PROPFIND methods.
While request can be in any encoding format, the response from the server
is always in UTF-8.

Search

Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 uses a Java-based search engine that
supports full-text indexing and searching of documents in all character encodings
that the underlying Java VM supports. The default encoding for the documents
can be specified at the time of creating a search collection. For HTML documents,
the indexer tries to deduce the encoding from the HTML metatags and if it
cannot, falls back to use the default encoding.

The search interface is based on JSP tag libraries and can be customized
and localized in any language and encoding that you wish. The tag libraries
are listed in the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 Programmer’s
Guide to Web Applications. For more information, see Customizing the Search Query Page.
